As Frank Sinatra sang: “Oh, it’s a long, long while from May to December. But the days grow short when you reach September.” It’s hard to believe that summer is almost in our rear-view window. Our thanks to our District Deputy Grand Exalted Ruler, Sandy Gowan, her Grand Esquire our own Ernie Nunes and Auditor Tim Borges for their visit last month. And, thanks to all our Officers and Elks members who made this night a huge success!
Looking ahead, we have some exciting news. Our new Facebook page is now up and running thanks to Eddie Morgan. Please go to our Eureka Elks Lodge #652 page and “Like” it. We’ll be posting pictures and articles on happenings at the lodge to keep you better informed. Coming soon: Twitter.
Also, football season is starting, and Nelson Gomes will provide hot dogs and nachos for afternoon games (12:30 to 5:00 pm) starting Sunday, September 8th. Details are still being worked on. Come cheer with your fellow Elks! On Sunday, September 16th, I invite you all to the Constitution Signing and Flag Celebration at the Masonic Lodge (517 G Street) in Eureka. Representatives of the Elks Lodge, Emblem Club, the Masons and five other organizations will take part in this truly stirring ceremony. Bring your family and friends and re-live your country’s history. The ceremony starts at 2:00 pm.
Finally, remember to thank all who make the activities of the lodge possible: our dedicated and hard-working volunteers. It takes all of us to run a successful lodge. Together – we’re Elks!
